Big Star Drive In

When they reopened this year, we were unable to get a parking spot, so we phoned in for takeout. The service was great and so was the food, and we're going to try again for the ambiance after the initial euphoria of their reopening wears off. We're glad you guys are back!

Been to Kenosha many times and only recently found this place. But now that we've found it we're definitely coming back! A true drive in, there's 2 rows of cars (but you probably want to line up in the closer row if there's room).We stopped in and directly in front of the line of cars was the menu. It was definitely more extensive than expected given the size of the place. Within a few minutes one of the wait staff came up to our window to take our order. Food came out pretty quickly despite there being a number of cars already there. Food was good, nothing amazing, but definitely worth it for the price (much more reasonable than other fast food places? And they have a good variety of sides and sandwiches.

It was a warm, sunny day. I took my dog on a road trip to a new dog park and after running and swimming at the park we found a drive-in with car hops! It was great to be able to keep my dog in the car with me while I ate. And, she was tickled when she got a cheese curd or two. The drive-in has been there since the 1940's. I loved the experience, the food and the lit neon at sunset. They make their own homemade root beer, I had a root beer float and it was superb! I also enjoyed the single cheeseburger, cheese curds and french fries. Everything was really delish! Word of advice: They were hella busy! It took me a bit of a wait to get a parking spot. I'm definitely going back again!

Big Star Drive In was a cool experience. It gets pretty busy, and I can imagine so because of their cheap prices for food. You park in a space and wait for a server to come and take your order. We ordered double cheeseburgers, fries, cheese sticks, fried mushrooms, vanilla shakes, cheese curds, and rootbeer floats.It was a decent wait and we decided to eat there so they bring the food out on a try that balances on your window. Love the old school vibes. The cheeseburger and fries were delicious. The burger comes with grilled onions and it just adds a nice taste to it. The fries were good too, just your standard crinkle cut. I should have stuck to just that and it would have been great. The cheese curds had a weird taste and texture. The fried mushrooms were on the soggy side. The cheese sticks were the best out of the extras we ordered, but they were still just decent. It is a cash only establishment, but they do have an atm inside along with a bathroom if needed.

This place was so simple but so yummy. The cheese burgers are the star of this drive up dinning experience. I ordered two double cheese burgers with everything on it. The grilled onions were a perfect addition on to the burger. The fries come in a big portion. We got the root beer floats with are made there, which was really tasty. Our server was really nice, she explained what they are known for. But beware them at you will need cash, because this is a cash only establishment. The server let us know that there was an atm onsite if there was any issue with cash. I'll have to come back again and try the cheese curds.

Didn't get to try the food unfortunately but here's my experience with the service. Service: I randomly found this spot while exploring Kenosha. It's off in the cut and had a decent amount of traffic so I decided to give it a try. . I pulled in the spaces behind the main line of cars, not really sure what to do next as I've never been to a drive through. As I sat there I watched the servers walk to all the cars as people pulled in next to me, waiting for them to approach my car as they were doing the others... only to not have that happen.. They walked up to every other car around me and to cars that came in after me even after I'd be sitting there for a good 15Min... The aroma this place gave off smelled amazing and I had a little extra time to kill so I decided to wait a bit longer and see how long it would take for someone to come to my car... after 37min I was approached and told after placing my order that they are cash only which was not posted anywhere on the property and I didn't have on hand. So unfortunately I'd leave this place with If you decided to give this place a shot make sure you have cash on hand a little extra free time. Hopefully I'll be able to give their food a shot in a future.

I'm not familiar with drive-ins but we saw this on the map and on Yelp and I wanted to give it a try. Also the prices were remarkably reasonable! We're talking about a 1/4 lb cheeseburger for less than $5! The family got food and sides and milkshakes... I think everyone was pretty pleased with the taste and quality. Since it was Friday, I got the fish fry and there were some generous portions.As I mentioned, I'm familiar with drive-ins, so I wasn't sure what to do when I pulled in to the parking lot. It took some time before a waiter came by so I wasn't sure if I was supposed to get out or flag someone down or whatever. I just kind of watched what everyone else was doing, but that still wasn't making it clear. I don't expect them to cater to tourists (like me), but maybe even the most basic signage could help an out-of-towner? I'll be better at it next time!

Friendly service and great food! We'd never been to a drive-in style restaurant before, so we weren't sure what to do at first. Apparently you park in one of the spots, and the server comes to your car to take your order. You can choose to get your order to go, or you can eat it there--in your car, parked in the lot. We watched as servers brought trays that clipped onto the windows of the cars. We ordered ours to go, so no tray--it was brought to us in bags, and drinks in a cardboard drink carrier. The server who brought out order to us came ready to make change--this is a cash-only place. The burgers are amazing! Our only issue with them was the meat kinda sliding around, but that seemed to be the result of generous toppings, so I certainly wouldn't complain about that! I was impressed that they got our order exactly right, since we had ordered several burgers, all with different toppings. Cheese fries came with a generous amount of cheese sauce for dipping. The chocolate milkshake didn't seem very chocolaty, but still a very good milkshake. The teenagers in our group weren't especially impressed with the drive-in style of the restaurant (probably just felt like a drive-thru to them, since they weren't the ones driving or ordering). Those of us adults in the group thought it was fun in an old-fashioned retro kind of way.

Food is delicious Fun atmosphere. I wish it was in Milwaukee. Wish i was open year around but this is Wisconsin.

Great food it's usually very busy at dinner time but it's worth the wait if you want a cheeseburger don't get a single it's very small everything on the menu is very good
